The 2022 Zhuji City Overseas High-Level Talent Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition Finals were successfully held, and Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics CAS Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co.,LTD achieved outstanding results once again.

On December 23, the final of the 2022 Zhuji City Overseas High-Level Talent Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition was held in Zhuji. After fierce competition with 20 other high-quality projects, the "108 Satellite Constellation Project" project of Xi'an Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics CAS Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co.,LTD Technology Co., Ltd. achieved another outstanding result and won the second prize in this competition.

The competition, themed "Gathering of Talents and Opening Up the Future," focused on emerging industries such as aerospace, intelligent equipment, and new materials. It collected nearly 300 high-quality projects from home and abroad, and selected 20 projects to enter the finals through four industry-specific competitions and one overseas video competition.

Due to the pandemic, Qin Jing, General Manager of Xi'an Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics CAS Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co.,LTD Technology Co., Ltd., participated online in this final competition. She provided a detailed introduction to the Zhongke Xiguang 108-satellite constellation project to the on-site guests, offering in-depth explanations of constellation planning, overall satellite specifications, satellite applications, scientific research support, market advantages, and development prospects. As a commercial integrated remote sensing microsatellite constellation system independently designed, developed, and operated by Zhongke Xiguang, the successful construction of the Zhongke Xiguang 108-satellite constellation project will fully meet the future demand for large-scale commercial satellite networking, effectively promote innovative applications of satellite remote sensing in more fields, and drive the integrated development of satellite applications across air, space, land, and sea.

Innovation is the primary driving force, and science and technology are the primary productive forces. In recent years, Zhuji has vigorously attracted innovative talents and teams from home and abroad, strengthened the construction of innovation platforms, and held a high-level talent innovation and entrepreneurship competition for six consecutive years to cultivate and attract talents through competition. By building high-level science and technology innovation platforms and attracting high-level talents from home and abroad, Zhuji has continuously built and developed its "intellectual brain" and created a science and technology innovation ecosystem that attracts both local and foreign talents by relying on high-end competitions.

As a strategic emerging industry in my country, science and technology, along with innovation, are also crucial driving forces for the continuous development of the commercial aerospace industry. Today, with policy support and social resources, commercial aerospace has become a vital pillar for promoting the high-quality development of the national aerospace and high-tech industries. Within the commercial aerospace arena, CAS Xiguang Aerospace will fully leverage its technological resources to accelerate the research and development of core technologies such as satellite overall design, development, operation and management, software, and applications. It will continuously improve the performance, lifespan, and manufacturing capabilities of small satellites, creating truly user-friendly, practical, and useful hyperspectral constellations, and innovating new systems and applications for satellites in various fields.

A gathering of talents and a surge of innovation: The 2022 Zhuji City Overseas High-Level Talent Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition further optimized the layout of innovation platforms and sounded the "call to arms" for high-level talents from home and abroad. Zhongke Xiguang will also fully leverage the platform's high-quality resources to accelerate technological innovation in the commercial aerospace industry chain, further improve constellation network construction, and contribute to the innovation and upgrading of my country's commercial aerospace and even the entire industry chain.
